Comment boire un café propre ?

Pour boire un café respectueux de l'environnement et de l'homme, il existe de petits choix simples à faire.

Privilégier un artisan

Certains cafés ne sont pas labellisés équitables mais ce sont le fruit du labeur de petits artisans. Vous pouvez choisir de consommer chez eux, et donc de valoriser leur travail. En Ile-de-France, Xavier Marfan fait par exemple tourner l'entreprise Factorerie qui ne compte que deux salariés : lui même et sa collègue. C'est un torréfacteur passionné. " Notre premier choix, c'est de favoriser le goût. Notre gamme de cafés est constituée de produits gourmets. "

Privilégier du commerce équitable

Malgré les diverses critiques qu'ont essuyées les labels de commerce équitables comme Max Haavelar, acheter un café labellisé équitable reste la meilleure - ou la moins mauvaise - solution si l'on souhaite respecter le producteur en bout de chaîne. Notamment car comme on peut le lire dans le rapport annuel de l'entreprise "le label garantit des conditions commerciales plus justes" et parce que "chaque année, des inspecteurs se rendent dans chacune des coopératives et plantations. Ils vérifient que les standards internationaux sont bien appliqués."

Etre futé autour de son café !

Une fois votre café acheté, des petits gestes vont vous permettre d'être plus gentils avec la planète.

• Au travail, si chacun utilise sa propre tasse, on évite le gâchis des gobelets en plastique ou en carton

• Bien prévoir les doses, c'est éviter de jeter du café froid et donc de dépenser inutilement de l'eau

• Essayez de choisir une machine dotée d'un filtre permanent pour éviter la multiplication des filtres en papier dans votre poubelle

• Vous ne pouvez pas vous passer de votre café en capsule N... ? Ne jetez pas les capsules. Rapportez les pour qu'elles soient recyclées (points de recyclage)

Finally...........Standard chartered kl marathon 2011

The 26th of June I make my first ever 10km marathon race.It was a race full of experience and fun also.On that particular day I wake up at 4.15am as I was going to use my bicycle to go to kl for the race.In fact the distance from my place to the marathon event is roughly around 10 km,the bicycle was my only option as the shuttle for the marathon didn't cover my area and the public transport will only start at 6 am that is to tight for me to reach on time for the departure of the 10 km race.

Training for a 10 km marathon after few years of cycling....it hurt

Who inspire me to take part in the 10km!!emm...In fact I came across an advertisement promoting the standard chartered kl marathon for this year..and I just said to myself why not kevin!As there's not so much of cycling competition over here,better i maintain myself physically and morally by keeping this challenging mood that we normally have during a competition.Even we are injure during the training session,it is always worth to at least give it a try.All this training remind me the inter season in cycling when I use to do some jogging on the track precisely on the sandy part that was quite tough but slow I get use to it and also it was quite motivating to see all type of people running together at there own pace with different objectives..some to keep them healthy others preparing themselves for certain event.The old folks as we said just come for a walk around the track that measure around 2.5 km for one loop..it was fun to run on this type of track and it is quite similar like running on the long and large cenang beach of langkawi..of course without the sea...Normally to go on the running track I use to cycle from home for about 30 mins at the same time I was warming up for my jogging.Moreover the track as I mentioned earlier is a horse racing track that is divided into two part namely the sandy part that is mostly use for training and the grass track that is normally use for the horse training only.But we all should be grateful to the management of the horse track that allow all people to come and do there jogging or only for a walk in very secure place compare to the road side.Concerning the profile of the track it is divided into three part,at the entrance of the park its quite flat and when we go in an clockwise direction the track will go uphill for around 300 m then go back to a flat feature and the best part that all runner like is the downhill part where everyone can recover from there effort..On the first time I go there I use to do only 3 loop as the track was tough to me and am not shy to save that I was force to stop after a certain m but in any sports it is like that..you won't be able adapt yourself on the first day..you have to struggle and be patient as your body need some time to adapt itself the new environment and the new type of effort that you are requesting from it.Synchronizing every part of your body to a new situation take time..At first a newcomer will suffocate if he try to run a long distance at first shot because the requested oxygen is not proportion to what the body can provide.
